Players come and go but I'm really sad about this retirement:

I interviewed Josh when he made his debut for the Bears and he came across as such a lovely guy as well as a very dedicated and hard-working cricketer.
Martyn Moxon says: "He has been a great influence on and off the field and a highly respected member of the squad. Josh is a lovely person and we wish him all the best for the future.”
Likewise, I wish him a great future in whatever he decides to do.

Josh seemed to have a big future but because of a certain Jeetan Patel, he was never going to get into the side. Pity because he did look good at times. Tim Groenwald was continually picked for us when he wasn't having any effect on the games he played in but I am glad he found success elsewhere. Rikki improved to be twice the player once he moved here but not everyone warmed to him. Towards the end of his time here, he seemed to give the impression that he just didn't care any more and that he'd had enough and his performances made him look lazy.
